Part 2
"Arnav" a voice striked Arnav's ear drums ...he moaned and again went to sleep...he was too sleepy to react to that...
But seemed like the source of the voice was in no mood to grasp this fact because the next second "Arnav" boomed in the whole room making him open his eyes at once.
The source will pay for ruining his sleep ...he lifted his head with sleep deprived eyes...and before he could yell ...the retina of his played its role and was too quick to send his brain the message that his dear wife was standing before him.
As soon as the message reached the brain...an unexpected quick response got delivered.
"Khushi...it's you ..." he came out of the bed and hugged her.
"Arnav what has gotten into you..." Khushi made a face and came out of the hug...
"Aaah nothing...it's just that I am seeing you after so many days na" he said softly
"Arnav just 3 days" she rolled her eyes
"Between why are you sleeping in my room"
"Wo ...mera ghar hai ..kahin bhi soun ( It's my house I will sleep wherever I want)" he made talks in the air ...
"Laad Governor. ..huh...but sach toh keh raha hai" Khushi murmured to herself.
-------------------------
"Kya hua...you look worried" Arnav asked on the dining table as he saw Khushi playing with the food.
"PG k forms aa gaye hain ...aur mai project me busy hun...kaise hoga sab...( forms for PG course have come out...but I have to complete my project...I wanted to enroll this year itself)" Khushi pouted with worry lines over her forehead.
"Don't worry. ...I take this responsibility" he smiled
"Arre no...tum kyu karoge " she didn't want to bother him...
"Free me nahi kar raha...treat toh lunga mai (I m not doing it for free...I will take my treat later)" he winked
"Done" she smiled but started panicking when her eyes went to the clock..."Shit only 15 minutes are left...how will I reach"
"Chalo drop kar deta hun..." Arnav was not leaving any opportunity to be with her...
Seeing no other option Khushi agreed and followed him.
It took them 10 minutes to reach the company. ..
"Thankyou" Khushi smiled and got out...
She had only entered the room which was provided to all the interns when a boy went down on his knees before her "Khushi Gupta I love you"
Khushi was blank but somebody was filled with range seeing this...
Arnav found her one of the files in the car and followed her only to get the shock...
But he couldn't do anything right now...he just gave the file to the peon and returned to his car..
"haha...see your face..." Lakshya got up and started laughing along with other interns.
It was a prank pulled out by them.
"You" Khushi started beating him with the file making him laugh more.
And in the car...
"Damn it" Arnav hit the steering ...
Reaching office...he called Aman in his cabin...
He had to do something about this...the scene had been revolving torturing him every second..
"She is mine...my wife..." he murmured "I won't let you go ever Khushi Raizada."
He came out of his thoughts hearing the knock on his cabin door. ."Come in"
Aman entered taking a file.
"Aman...collect PG forms of all prestigious colleges in the city...I want to have one admission. ...you will get a call from her after an hour...so just verify all the details with her " Arnav ordered while typing something on the laptop..
"Ok sir. ..." Aman smiled. .
"Aaah Aman collect all the details and come in the cabin..." Arnav thought something and said.
"Sure sir"
---------------------
After one week
"Khushi Raizada" Khushi was shocked to see her name as she remembers she had given the name Khushi Gupta to Aman when he was asking for all the details ...
And in an hour she was standing in Arnav's cabin.
"Aman...I had repeatedly told you Khushi Gupta Khushi Gupta..." Arnav roared at Aman who was in a shock.
"Arnav pls ho jata hai...pls calm down" Khushi got scared with the loud tone...
Aman went into a flashback...😭
"Sir...Name should be Khushi Gupta na..." Aman asked while collecting all the details
"Khushi Raizada..." Arnav said in a clipped tone..
"But sir her internship certificates"
"Khushi Raizada ...am I clear?" and that tone was enough for Aman
END OF FLASHBACK
Khushi exited the cabin and Aman was following her when Arnav stopped him "Aman..."
"Yes sir"
"Make sure the name" Arnav was cut short in between
"Don't worry sir the name will get corrected" Aman smiled
"An aa an ...the name is 100% correct...make sure it remains as it is..." He smirked making Aman confuse
"But..."
"No buts do as I say...and u will see the promotion letter on your desk" Arnav said in a clipped tone...
"Ah OK sir..." finally Aman was out of the cabin.
-------------------
"Sir ...it's just the surname which has to be changed" Khushi had been requesting the administrator for an hour but seemed like he was not going to take any excuses..
"Ma'am let me talk...aap waiting roon me wait kijiye" Aman asked Khushi to sit in the waiting hall so that he could have a man to man talk.
"Sir...I know a copy of marriage certificate was attached..but now " Aman was doing his work by giving the officer more ways to not comply.
After waiting for some time Khushi decided to go and see Aman...
"Dekhiye...the name cannot be changed. ..it's registered. ...hamare paas bas yahi kaam baaki nahi reh gaya...session has just started. ..so " this time some rudeness was there in the tone of the man...
"It's ok Aman ji..." Khushi came and stopped Aman from requesting more.
Aman after dropping Khushi home returned to office with a happy face. Promotion ki khushi..
----------
"Khushi Raizada" Arnav smiled uttering the name again and again.
But then frowned "I have one more task in hand"
With that he dialled his dadi's number..
"Namastey Dadi...haan woh...I am keeping low from past few days...aah...app ko aane ki zarurat nahi hai...( you don't need to come...)" Arnav pretended he was ill.
"Sorry dadi...but agar aap ayengi tabhi toh hum ek happy family ban payenge ( if you return then only we all can live like a happy family)"
he smiled "I will take the punishment later"
-------------------
Next day as expected Dadi arrived and rushed to see Arnav who was home...Khushi had left for the company
By then he had shifted all Khushi's things to his room with the help of his men...
"Beta. ..." Dadi called Arnav who was reading some files.
"For God sake Arnav...you r sick" she at once snatched the file...
He smiled ..."Dadi I am good now..."
"Kuch bhi ho..." she warned in a strict tone.
---------------
Khushi returned from her last day of her office and moved towards her room only to find it locked...
"Huh..."
"Daadi is back" Arnav's voice reached her ears and she turned nervous "how come ...she was supposed to come after 2 more months na...aur mera sara samaan"
"Her health was not good...that's why...and don't worry all your things have been shifted to my room" Arnav said in a plain tone but his insides were jumping at the thought of sharing a room with her.
------------
"God Bless you" Daadi smiled caressing Khushi's head when she touched her feet.
"Aur Arnav ne zyada tang to nahi kiya na (Arnav didn't trouble you na)" she asked teasingly. .
"Kya dadi" Arnav said sheepishly...
"And now it's time for your sleep...chaliye aap" he held her shoulders and escorted her to the room.
Later Arnav-Khushi settled inside Arnav's room...and Khushi was shocked not to find the couch which she used to sleep on while she was in this room...
"Aaah...where will I sleep" she asked hesitantly
"Hmm I can see a bed here..." arnav said in a thoughtful tone...but next second..."We will put a pillow line...now sleep"
And finally they were sleeping with a pillow line in between...but it didn't help much as it got destroyed by Khushi's karate moves all through the night...
------------
"Ahm..." Arnav opened his eyes hearing the alarm and found some weight on his legs ...
"God...kaise soti hai ye...but she looks so cute" he moved his face closer and admired her.
But next second got kicked by her in sleep..
"Owww...I will have to cage her in my arms while sleeping ...once things get sorted out between us" he smiled and got down .
----------------
"Khushi...my office also follows the same route ...if you wish I can drop you to college" Arnav said taking an omelette in his plate.
"Nai nai...it's ok ...I will take a rickshaw" Khushi smiled...
"arre leave the formalities. ...mai chod dunga bas" he convinced her finally and continued munching on toasts..
-----
"Bye. ...and thanku so much " Khushi smiked getting down from the car.
Arnav started the car once Khushi disappeared from his vision...
Khushi entered the campus ..it was one of the reputated colleges of the city...
She had already applied for an education loan ...but the burden was low as her marks helped her in getting a scholarship .
She entered her class and took a seat beside a girl ...
"Hi...Khushi"
The other girl smiled "Paayal"
The professor entered and silence followed.
After exchanging greetings...he was taking the attendance ...since it was the first day...names were also called along with the roll numbers. ..
"112 Khushi Raizada..."
"Present sir " Khushi felt so odd hearing Khushi Raizada...Raizadas were one of the influential families of Lucknow...
Damini Raizada was known for making the Raizada Business touch the skies...but now Arnav Raizada had taken over the reins few years back...
She could feel everybody's eyes on her..."why is everyone staring...Raizada kisi aur ka surname nahi ho sakta kya" she muttered angrily.
"You come from the Raizada family " one boy sitting behind her couldn't hold his excitement and asked her...
"Nahi...we just share the same surnames" Khushi lied with a smile. ..
"Oh...waise I am NK...Neil Khurana" the boy introduced himself .
Then first half ended and now they were going to the canteen...
"Hey...I am Kavya...can I join you guys" one girl who was left alone in the class came to Khushi NK and Payal.
"Sure" they smiled
"Dhruv" NK called loud seeing a boy
The boy smiled and came towards them
"Girls..this is Dhruv...he missed the first half due to" NK introduced his friend teasing him.
"Shut up " Dhruv said and smiled to others.
They all started talking knowing about each other.
----------------
It has been a month ...since Khushi started the college...everything was going smooth when one day they were given a topic to write a thesis ...it was about Corporate world. ...and groups were made.
"Huh...hamari pehli thesis. ..maza aayega" Khushi clapped her hands ..she was too excited.
"Khushi Raizada " Dhruv gritted his teeth ...we were to get the thesis topic next week...but who told you to raise that topic in the class today"
And here NK got an idea hearing Raizada
"Guys koi nahi...kaam asaan ho jayega...if we are able to meet the Raizadas and interview them"
"Are you mad" Khushi panicked
"Oye dusri Raizada chup kar..he is right" Dhruv panick
"Tu toh aise panick kar rahi hai jaise tere pati ka interview lene ja rahe hain ( You r panicking ..as if we r talking of interviewing your husband)" Payal said making others laugh.
-------------------
"Arnav take Khushi on a dinner today" Damini ordered Arnav making him smile
"I am always ready but seems like ur bahu is busy"
"Don't make fun of my bacha...don't worry she will go" Dadi faked anger
In the evening Khushi was getting ready on Dadi's order ...
"chale" Arnav asked
"Hmm"
They went to a beach restaurant on Khushi's request
After having dinner they were walking on the beach...
"Aur how is college life going" Arnav asked with a smile
"Nice...y know my friends have nicknamed me Raizada..can u believe it ...Oye Raizada what's up" Khushi mimicked making Arnav laugh..."Haha..."
"Huh after sometime I will be back to Gupta"
"Dream on " an instant reaction came from Arnav hearing that...
"Excuse me"
"Ahh...nothing..." he distracted her splashing water on her.
"You will not get spared" she ran behind him
Both of them got involved in a water fight like kids...
"Let's take a selfie" Khushi chirped
she took out her phone from the car and posed. ...but next second Arnav pecked her cheek and an adorable selfie got clicked...
he couldn't resist.
"Aaah...best selfie pose..." He started defending himself before she could say anything
"It's ok. ...we r friends" she smiled..
"Huh bach gaya" he muttered
"what"
"Nothing. ...send me the pic" he said...he got the best wallpaper for his phone now!!!!!
-----------------------
"Oye Raizada...we have got an appointment to meet Arnav Raizada...my father helped me ..." NK said making Khushi spit out the water she was drinking.
"Kya huwa"
"Kuch nahi...tumlog jana yaar...I won't be able to make it" she made an excuse
"Are u kidding me..u r the group leader...moreover ek Raizada dusre Raizada se sawaal puchte hue kitna cool lagega...tujhe kuch zyada information bhi de jaye wo ( it would be so cool to see one Raizada asking questions to another Raizada...may be he will give some extra information to you)" Dhruv teased.
--------------
Next day they were at the main office of AR ...
Khushi had already told Arnav about the interview and asked him to cooperate...and..the dearest husband had nodded his head to that.
As soon as they entered , the staff members got up seeing Mrs Raizada in the office.
Khushi turned nervous and said "Jaldi jaldi chalo"
"Why did they get up seeing us..." Payal raised her brows...
Just then Aman came and "Sir aa gaye hain..u all can meet him"
"Matlab Arnav Raizada ane wale the...staff members pehle se hi khade jo gaye waah" Dhruv clapped...
"Chal ab"
"Khushi darwaza khol" Payal turned nervous and pushed Khudhi ahead
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in " a crisp voice came...
The group entered. Chairs were arranged for them.
"Sir the students are writing a thesis on the corporate world ...so.." Aman was cut short in between
"Ah you informed me yesterday. ..." Arnav said
The group got settled and started asking questions ...
"Raizada Raizada khub jam rahe hain" Dhruv whispered in NK's ear seeing Arnav-Khushi involved in the conversation.
After half an hour
"Thankyou so much Sir for your time...it really helped a lot" Dhruv said and and they all started to get up when Khushi's leg twisted and she lost the balance hitting her head on the table...
"Khushi" everyone moved and caught her head but in few seconds all were sided by Mr Raizada who by now had cupped her face and pressing the part where a little blood was oozing "kuch nahi hua...it's ok it's ok" Arnav consoled Khushi while kissing her head ...she was sniffing as her head had hit the table a little hard.
Immediately ice cubes and first aid was brought...
"Kitni baar kaha hai be careful. ..." Arnav blew on the wound and then bandaged it with utmost care.
"Ye ho kya raha hai..." Dhruv asked seeing Arnav so concerned for Khushi...he had seen the panic on his face.
Right then...Arnav's phone rang seeking everybody's attention.
And next second all the eyes widened seeing the wallpaper where Arnav was kissing Khushi ( The beach pic)...
"Aap log baahar wait kijiye ma'am aa jayengi ( You guys wait outside )" Aman said to the group...
"What is the relation between Arnav sir and Khushi" Paayal said aloud
"Are u dumb...it's obvious she is his wife...now I get it why everyone stood up when we entered the office" Dhruv hit Payal's head lightly...
"So should we wait or not"
"Hum kya karenge yahan...unki sewa k liye bahut log hain yahan ( what will we do here..there r many people to take care of her in this office) Dhruv said in a sarcastic tone...
"Hmm...let's go back then" all decided and went out.
-----------------
In the office...
"Is it still paining" Arnav asked caressing the wound...
"I am ok now Arnav...I should leave now" Khushi tried to get up...
"I will drop you now sit...waise bhi your friends have gone" he said making her sit again.
It's then it hit her..."What didn't they wait for me??...Did they come to know the truth...how will I face them" she said disappointed.
"Everything will be fine Khushi...don't stress yourself " he said in a calm tone.
---------------------
"Ye boss bhi na ghanchakkar bana denge...pehle Khushi ma'am ka naam zabardasti change karwaya ...phir college ja kar jhut ka drama karwaya...(my boss will turn me mad...first he made me change mam's name and then I had to do that drama in college ...)" Akash was talking to someone on phone criticising his boss in a shant gali of his office but guess the timing was wrong as Mrs Raizada was passing by and her sharp listening skills got her enlightened about her husband's deeds. She was shocked "Arnav how could you?"
PRECAP
"Arnav you promised. ...why r you doing this" Khushi gritted her teeth
"What " Arnav answered taking a spoon of halwa...
"Don't act "
"You don't make me eat almonds like a good wife..then how would I remember things" he said taking more of halwa in his mouth.
Khushi rushed to her room...and brought out the paper on which she jotted down the points on the wedding night...
"See"
"Oh...it's yours ...where is my written proof?" he smirked making her mouth open wide!!!!😉
